About Pedro Páramo
Pedro Páramo follows Juan Preciado as he travels in search of his father, only to discover that the town where he used to live is deserted and is now populated almost entirely by ghosts. Its ostensibly simple plot (it is primarily focused on the life and death of the titular character) is treated in a highly original way, with a fragmented, polyphonic narrative that constantly surprises the reader.
The novel has been translated into dozens of languages, and has been lauded by acclaimed writers such as Gabriel García Márquez and Jorge Luis Borges, who were both influenced by its blend of realism, fantastic elements and social commentary.
About Juan Rulfo
Although his reputation rests on just two brief works, namely the short novel Pedro Páramo and the short story collection The Burning Plain, Juan Rulfo is widely recognized as one of the greatest Latin American writers of the 20th century. Having lived through the bloody Cristero Rebellion in the 1920s and witnessed the poverty of Mexico’s remote rural regions at first hand, his work has a marked social dimension and often criticizes the failure of the Mexican Revolution to effect genuine change. Rulfo also garnered significant attention for his photography, which he saw as a way of depicting the realities of contemporary life in Mexico.This practical and insightful reading guide offers a complete summary and analysis of Pedro Páramo by Juan Rulfo.
